During One Night (also known as Night of Passion) is a 1961 British drama film, directed and written by Sidney J. Furie and starring Don Borisenko and Susan Hampshire.[2] It was Walton Studios' last production.[citation needed]
David is a Captain in the American Airforce, based in the south of England during the Second World War. His co-pilot Mike is seriously injured during a mission and, rendered impotent by his injuries, commits suicide. David sets out on a night of potential passion, wishing to ensure that he does not die a virgin before his next and final flying mission the following day.
He goes with a prostitute, but cannot perform. He meets an attractive young woman at a dance, but when she takes him home her male accomplices mug him, stealing his money. He gets drunk in a country pub and meets the landlady's daughter Jean, who is kind and sympathetic to him. Hiding from the Military Police in a barn, their attempt at love-making fails.
Distraught, David attempts to get himself shot dead by the military policemen, but the situation is defused by a Military Chaplain. David returns to the pub to say goodbye to Jean, and they consummate their love.
